Finn Wolfhard (“IT,” “Stranger Things”) has joined the cast of the adaptation of the Donna Tartt’s best-selling novel “The Goldfinch” at Warner Bros. Pictures and Amazon Studios.

John Crowley (“Brooklyn”) helms the film starring Ansel Elgort as Theo, a young man who loses his mother in a museum bombing and is taken in by a wealthy family, only to be drawn into New York City’s art underworld.

Wolfhard will play Young Boris, a Ukrainian student and troublemaker who bonds with Theo due to their both having lost their mothers. Boris introduces Theo to drugs and alcohol.

Sarah Paulson, Jeffrey Wright, Luke Wilson and Aneurin Barnard also star in the film which begins shooting later this month. Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson are producing.

“Brooklyn” helmer John Crowley handles this adaptation of Donna Tartt’s celebrated and popular modern Dickens-esque novel in which “Baby Driver” star Ansel Elgort plays Theo, a young man who loses his mother in a museum bombing and is taken in by a wealthy family, only to be drawn into New York City’s art underworld. “Stranger Things” breakout Finn Wolfhard will play Young Boris, a Ukrainian student and troublemaker who bonds with Theo due to their both having lost their mothers. Sarah Paulson, Nicole Kidman, Jeffrey Wright, Ashleigh Cummings, Luke Wilson and Aneurin Barnard also star in the project which boasts a script by Peter Straughan (“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”) and cinematography by Roger Deakins so chances are it’s going to be as solid an adaptation as can be done of the work.
